| Hi -
|
| I'm having a problem reading bash environment variables when running a
| MinGW app on Cygwin's bash. I'm trying this on the MinGW list as well,
| but no luck so far. The basic problem is that SHELL is not visible in
| environ (or from getenv) on the app, even thought the program was
| launched from bash, where SHELL has the value /bin/bash. Does that sound
| familiar to anyone?
Bash has two variable namespaces - shell variables, and environment
variables. Are you sure SHELL was exported to the environment, and not
just in the bash shell variable namespace?
